The cold war cost Russia a lot. The country would of eventually collapsed anyway... Communism can't work outside of a vacuum, but it would of took longer.


Absolute nonsense. Maybe PURE communism won't work in reality, but if they hadn't had Brezhnev for almost 20 years or if Andropov hadn't died, the Soviets may well have still been around today. Given incompetent enough leaders, any political system will collapse.


 What Kasz216 said is not absolute nonsense. It's was one of the major issues of practical political science as it related to the ideal socialistic state. It's been an issue since Das Kapital was written. Are you being purposefully ignorant of the history of political science or are you just being obtuse?
